It is a problem regarding keychain,
when i go for pull from git hub, the following message is displayed

Pulling all tracking branches from Queue-iOS encountered an error.
command: git pull Queue-iOS
error: git-credential-osxkeychain died of signal 11
error: git-credential-osxkeychain died of signal 11
error: git-credential-osxkeychain died of signal 11
error: git-credential-osxkeychain died of signal 11
You asked to pull from the remote 'Queue-iOS', but did not specify
a branch. Because this is not the default configured remote
for your current branch, you must specify a branch on the command line.
error = 1

Here Queue-iOS is the local folder I have configured on git. Please help.

I am using Mac OS X 10.7.5. I recently downloaded git 1.8.1.2 for Mac. Having it installed, I bumped into the same signal 11 error message when running:

$git credential-osxkeychain

which in turn runs:

/usr/local/git/bin/git-credential-osxkeychain

Signal 11 is SEGFAULT which might indicate a bug (e.g. dereferencing a null pointer) with the git-credential-osxkeychain program.

I followed instructions on caching your github password and grabbed a new copy of git-credential-osxkeychain from S3. That resolved the problem. The new copy is of different size which makes me guess the bug has been patched.

In the meantime, I believe using a URL like git@github.com:yang3wei/octopress-3-in-one in the config should also work around the problem as it bypasses HTTPS and uses SSH instead where the key chain helper is not invoked any more.

For anyone reading, this answer is the 100% correct one, particularly for older installations like OS X 10.6.8. The credentials are being fed wrongly to github by the git engine as they were set up wrong by the git tool, and the correction above resolves that. You need to do this separately for each project because the config file is specific to the project. Thanks, yang3wei!

I was getting the following errors when I tried to use the git version 1.8.1.3 after upgrading:
git-credential-osxkeychain died of signal 11
When I was doing git pull, I would get
fatal: https://github.com/.../../info/refs?service=git-upload-pack not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?

I am guessing it had to do with my previous invalid github credentials in the keychain.

Opened keychain access tool using Command space

searched for github in the keychain access tool

removed all the entries related to github (since I no longer needed it)
